Wreckognize Turns Down Rocafella Contract
 
It's not surprising, the contract was a guarenteed 1-12" release, and a 25k advance. Anyone who knows anything about advances knows that you have to pay them back if you don't make 25k back (not the album, you, as in your cut,) and there's no fucking way in the world you're going to make 25k off a 12" not in this age of digital music. So he's turned down the contract, so you won't hear him on the Roc. I also think Dash and co. had something to do with this, they could have easily sat down and said "look you're good, but you just won't fit in here" etc.

Wrecks stated reason for not signing: "I wanna stay underground." (Don't believe that, if he got a huge deal offer, he wouldn't be so underground anymore, but I wouldn't advise anyone to sign a 25k advance deal for a 12" contract, that's idiotic.)

* waits for someone who doesn't understand the music biz to come in and say otherwise...

That was a good move, He wouldnt be able to make that back for the fact that he's new in the 'game' and isn't anywhere near big yet

But he also wouldnt fit in there....I still think the blind kid had a better chance

lmao......
one 12"...........
Why didn't Dame Dash just throw his dick in his face and tell him to bend over if he accepted?

hey i knew ever since wreckognize's first round with that 1 guy that if he won he just wouldnt fit in.. its nothing like oh BECAUSE hes white.. it was because his whole concept was white... tight tee.... tight jeans.. some k swisses.... and his whole way of rhyming is so... like hes nice but it annoyed me... cuz when white people rap.. why the FUCK do you have to sound out EVERY SINGLE FUCKIN WORD... its like.. instead of muthafucka... its mutherfucker and nigger... instead of nigga and its just annoying peoples... but he was nice thought.. but Swann wouldve fitted in more

Swann Would Have Fit In Better With The Roc...

But Yea...$25,000 And Only One 12" Single...If It Was Swann, He Might Have Been Able To Make It...

Especially With A Just Blaze Beat...

I think Swann or Ceaser shoulda took it. The blind dude was pretty tight though. Wrekonize was pretty tight as well, but I agree wit mostly everyone's feedback and opinions on him. So yeah....Swann or Ceaser woulda done it.

Baron Mynd 11-28-03 01:49 PM

I dont care who you are, no names like those four were never selling 25, 000 with their first LP ..
